The pH Scale

The pH scale shows how acidic a substance is. It can be measured using a pH meter which gives a numerical value.

The pH scale ranges from 0 (very acidic ) through 7 (neutral) to 14 (very alkaline).

pH can be measured using an indicator and comparing the colour with a comparison chart.
